At least few of those messages could benefit from forced newlines as an alternative. When running Slime in ~80 character frame error message wrapping can be a real usability issue -- impacting many more people than availability of Genera support. :)
You're probably right. Or some #. wrapper to add ~@< ~> around a few of the strings. I'll accept a patch and/or a request for change in some specific format strings. Use git show 2.012.8 to see which strings were affected.
